'Deathtrap' opens at Huntington Playhouse

by Tom Meyrose

The Huntington Playhouse season continues with a production of the suspense thriller “Deathtrap,” opening on Oct. 18 and playing through Nov. 4. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. with one Sunday matinee on Nov. 4 at 2p.m.

A once successful writer of Broadway thrillers is struggling to overcome a “dry” spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from one of his students, a script he recognizes as a potential Broadway hit. Suspense mounts when he suggests collaboration with the student on the script.

Reservations are strongly recommended by calling the box office at 440-871-8333.

Huntington Playhouse is located at 28601 Lake Rd. in Bay Village and is an affiliate of the Cleveland Metroparks. Look for the Huntington Playhouse Facebook page and see photos of the current production as well as other activities at the theatre.
